Lispers read code by indentation, not by scanning parenthesis. Properly formatted Lisp, which is trivially automated thanks to the code being so easily parsed and manipulated, reads pretty much the same as Python. A good editor will shuffle things through the parenthesis based on indentation too, so the experience of writing it is keystroke for keystroke pretty close to Python as well if that's what you want.
